Calling The Climate Decision Makers

a400a

The Climate Technology Decision Makers Human Flaws are Failing Humanity in Its Time of Greatest Need

As we published earlier, the next 4 years from Q2 2023 onward are going to be very much more difficult for humanity with respect to significantly worsening climate consequences because the hydroxyl is now inundated and allowing methane a free increase, and the onset of El Nino warming is going to combine with this in a way that is unprecedented. We already see it in the ocean temperature record of 2023.

We absolutely must put a stop to the laziness and cowardice that we are encountering in the Climate Technology funding world. One-dimensional solutions are being selected over the most comprehensive climate solution, which is a controlled oxidation event that would promote and secure improving biodiversity, including improving plant and mineral diversity, increasing Earth’s albedo, cleaner air, calmer weather, and normalized rain. The decision makers are shrinking from funding this procedure.

In this letter, we are again pointing to the abundant peer-reviewed literature on the Earth’s critically important hydroxyl radical, and its roles in pollutant removal, sanitation and precipitation that have made the Earth so habitable. All of this is now pretty much lost, in case you hadn’t noticed.

There is also abundant peer reviewed literature, which we list some of below, describing the deeply studied and verified paleo-chemistry work that the whole geology world has taken the time to investigate and publish on.

At ReductionTech Inc, we are no longer going to allow decision makers to fool themselves into thinking that not enough is known about oxidation, and continue to shrink from funding even a partial scale up of an affordable and simple mitigation technology to address the global situation. The global situation not only includes overheating, and the sooner that this is acknowledged by leaders, the better.

It is these climate mitigation technology decision makers sacred responsibility to be fully abreast of the planetary reality that is upon humanity, and finance to address that reality as comprehensively and efficiently as possible, without just cowardly cobbling together a bunch of one-dimensional and one gas removal solutions in hope for a collective marginal improvement. The decision makers are currently making the climate disaster more expensive and convoluted. There is absolutely no excuse for this happening, and we must insist that they be tasked with performing a better science review than what they have provided.

We assert that they must not shrink from the overwhelming scientific evidence that backs up what we are proposing and projecting for a scaled controlled hydroxyl dispersal procedure. We think that is simply boils down to these people not being abreast of the literature, and it is their sacred duty to have a solid familiarity with it, and are providing the references below to support the needed reading.

There is a lot of open literature about the hydroxyl radical in the modern atmosphere as well, that any competent researcher can locate.

We ask that decision makers more concertedly utilize our referenced materials because they are patently clear about the chemistry aspects, and any generalist should be able to see the deep merit and values in the very existence of the hydroxyl radical. We cannot live without it, frankly, and it is now losing to the record pollution levels. ReductionTech is the only team with a plan to support life- sustaining hydroxyl levels. Please don’t shrink from reviewing this important and life-saving science.

The realistic hit list of what is going wrong globally, and what a hydroxyl mitigation can do includes again: decisive global cooling, improving biodiversity, including improving plant and mineral diversity, increasing Earth’s albedo, cleaner air, calmer weather, better air quality and normalized rain.

Thank you for sharing this advisory and thank you for reviewing this critical science urgently.
